These two initiatives mark a significant step in our mission to become the leading voice of the startup ecosystem across the continent.
A Unified Channel for Founders and Investors
As our platform has grown, we’ve seen a surge in engagement from startup founders across Africa. While we’ve long focused on delivering insights, guides and reports tailored to their journeys, we recognised a gap: a central, trusted resource for venture capitalists (VCs), equity investors, and angel investors seeking actionable insights and promising startups.
To bridge this, we’re introducing:
Startup Africa Digest - A LinkedIn-based stream of insights, guides, reports and curated news. Think of it as an extension of our website, bringing our latest content directly to the platforms where our community already gathers.
Deal-Flow Africa - An upcoming investor-focused newsletter (LinkedIn and email-based) launching soon. It will spotlight standout African startups, current funding rounds and exclusive insights to help investors discover high-potential ventures early.
Why We’re Doing This
Too often, great startups struggle to find the right investors at the right time. Likewise, investors often lack a reliable source to keep pace with Africa’s rapidly evolving startup scene. We aim to close that gap.
Deal-Flow Africa will serve as a trusted pipeline, connecting serious investors with Africa’s most promising early-stage ventures. We’re already collecting startup profiles, funding data, and market signals that matter to local and international VCs.
Join the Community
Our Startup Digest is already live on LinkedIn and has attracted a significant following since its launch a few weeks ago. Subscribe now to stay updated on Africa’s innovation landscape and join a growing community of investors and founders shaping the continent’s future.
If you’re a founder raising capital, or an investor looking to tap into Africa’s next generation of unicorns, we want to hear from you.
